I'm in Western PA. I'm making a trip to Lancaster in July and I would like to go to Kauffmans in Carlisle, but I don't want to wait that long. I thought I'd mail order the X-calibrator now, then go to Kauffmans in July and get it dialed in perfect. |

I have the MPH tune. Tim is a great guy to work with. Got my car dynoed at Dr. Gas while on his tune and the guy running the dyno said that it was one of the better tunes he had seen. I have not heard anything bad about MD either but I would go with MPH. Just my opinion. |

Thanks pepper. I know you're S/C, but those are some damn nice gains from a tune. I got on this morning to finally order and MD site is down. Bandwidth Limit??? WTF? It's a sign. |

Definately a toss up but I'd head over to MPH ... a lot of fast cars coming out of there. |

Talked to Tim at MPH today and placed my order. Waiting for HP is my favorite pastime.
There is a ricer shop real close to my house that has a Dynojet dyno. They do tuning on Hondas and Nissans and "specialize" in engine swaps. However, they charge $65 for three pulls or $100 an hour unlimited. I'll have to pay them a visit after I flash this b1t3h and I'll let y'all know how it turns out. |

I ordered some BBK LT's and VRS xpipe from MPH on a Monday and the LT's arrived the next day. The VRS on Thursday, meanwhile the O2 extenders from DM didn't arrive until the following Tuesday. Now that the anticipation has died down I'm kinda dreading the install.Anyways, post some numbers when you get em. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
